1.6 Million people, mostly children, die every year from disease related to unclean water and poor sanitation. Life Force Kiosks, a non-profit operating in Kenya, was formed to help provide clean water to all.

Preperations are nearly complete

With only about 3 weeks left until departure, the to-do list is fortunately starting to look manageable. My passport and visa are both ready to go, and I’ve gotten so many vaccinations that I think I’m now immune to bullets and bear attacks (hopefully lion attacks too). The list of vaccinations includes:

Rabies (3 shot series)

Hepatitis A (2 shot series)

Hepatitis B (3 shot series)

MMR

Typhoid

Yellow Fever

Meningitis

Polio

Tetanus

Flu (regular and H1N1)

In addition to the shots, I also have pills for everything from Malaria to insomnia to Anthrax.
